Get your ROC's off, Get your ROC's off honey! Knickers down, legs up and capes on in the competition for SOTM! Just Shagging part 22 - the one with all the BFPs!

[DulcetMoans]

Ladies, Fred title says it all; we are the ones who shag as much as our men can cope with in order to get upduffed without the stress of scientific whatnots!

Fred rules (copied from previous Fred)

1. Thou shalt shag as much as humanly possible in order to get upduffed.
2. Thou shalt not partake of OPKs, temping, or charting.
3. Thou shalt keep symptom spotting to a minimum.
4. Thou shalt share with your fredmates where needed.

JSing lingo

ERTD = Evil Red Tide of Dooooooommmmmmm. Or AF to most others.

Viroid = This is you, dear poster. This is from the first JS thread when someone tried to type 'ladies' and it autocorrected to 'Viroids' - so there you go!

Pant snot = Egg white cervical mucus.

Doing a kitten = Getting upduffed soon after joining (warning: may induce envy in other posters).

POAS = Pee On A Stick (of the pregnancy detecting kind, not from a tree). Also known as PIAR (Pee In A Ramekin - cos we're posh birds innit). Or PIATLH (Tea light holder) PIAWG (Wine glass) or anything else you care to pee in!

Shagging like something = JSing like a teenage nymphomaniac.

Giving a hooya = Giving a much needed slap to a fellow poster in danger of slipping into ttc obsession.

Contraband = Of COURSE none of us EVER partake of any silly OPKs or temp charting. They are Contraband.

Icing = ovulating. Another autocorrect development!

Getting your Cape on = planning some serious pouncing on DH/DP

TWOT - Two Weeks of Torture!

Happy shagging shaggers!

popz have you tried St Johns wart as a natural alternative? might be worth a go?

cape has been on last 2 nights and dh has been told we'll be wearing the capes for at least 3 more nights! pos opks today so should ov tomorrow....hoping a bfp is my birthday present!

Go on lil! We're rooting for you xx

Same here Lil! Or until cbfm stops saying HIGH anyway! DH seems to be leading the way on cape wearing for once...

Never tried SJW, though have contemplated it previously. I don't think its recommended during pregnancy though.

Wow lil, you are on form for SOTM at that rate. Impressive!

Had your appointment yet popz? Hope it goes well!

Cats are superior. To everything and everyone in their minds anyway!

Omg... puppy is like Zebedee on speed today... give me cats anyday!!

App is in half an hour. Kind of bricking it. Already seen a CBT worker this aft, who was about 12!

DH has been to the gym again this morning and is apparently feeling full of himself so looks like I'll be getting some 3rd day in a row cape action tonight haha!

Ok, DH has been told he's allowed a rest now ;) we managed 12 times so far this month, but tbh any extras won't count.. Into Twotty twot twot symptom spotting now

Fingers crossed.

And we have cats :D

Good work Zyla!

Well I have crazy pills and appointments for day 21 and day 2/3 bloods. GP was really good actually. Feel like a bit of a weight's lifted...

Glad you feel better RPopz, hope it all helps.

Zyla that is awesome work. That'll be my target for this month.

Great news rpopz, it does feel better when things start moving!

12 times zyla, that's one to beat for sure!

not sure about sotm...today was no 6 so should be up to 8 by the time icing is over. not quite Zita's perfect 10! well done on 12 zyla good effort

rpopz glad u r feeling more positive. having bloods booked is a gd start. don't forget day 21 isn't day 21 though necessarily.

well just had a row with dh as he doesn't think I should have a glass of wine tomorrow but he refuses to give up caffeine. I Gabe up caffiene as soon as we started ttc so the odd glass of wine is hardly cardinal sin. grrrrr!

lil I was told by my doctor that the best thing to do is to relax if ttc. If you can have a glass of wine a week when pg I'm not sure how a glass of wine when ttc will have much effect. But obviously it's your body and you must do what you feel comfortable doing. I have been a bit naughty this week and had a few drinks. I will try to be good from now until I'm due.

How are you all? I have cramps in my stomach and I'm trying not to think about it too much.

I don't like that you can't scroll up on app to read what's been said

Just realised that might sound like I'm pg to any newbies! I meant when my period's due!

RPopz that's great that you had a good app today, you must feel relieved!

lala flip the thread if you want to scroll up instead of down. not sure if that's what u meant tho

CD11 and I'm cramping. What's that about?!

Sorry you are having a tiff lil but I really am on your side. A glass of wine when TTC will not hurt! Tell him you need to be relaxed so stop stressing you out!

It will be day 25 by the time I go because of the bank holiday, but as my cycle is currently 32-35 days the nurse said that'd be fine.

Lil that's a bit rich of DH! I'd be furious.

What's this perfect 10 business? We did 13 last month (unlucky for us!) On about 5/6 so far this month I think!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. It's nice to have people here who understands xx

Hope you make up with DH Lil. It's so tricky to know what to do because you end up avoiding alcohol and then still not being pregnant and then feel thoroughly fed up. I agree that one wee glass of wine probably won't hurt. I am supposed to be going out for drinks this weekend and feeling a bit guilty about it. But I'll only be CD7 so unless I have a freakishly early icing, I figure it's not that bad. (Totally trying to convince myself here).

Ov pains Dulcet?

hello, lil your DH is being a bit mean! I had a glass of wine the week before I got my BFP. It's hard when you're told that everything fries your eggs but the spermies are WAY more susceptible to damage via booze/caffeine/smoking etc so he should have a think about that!

This segues nicely to answering rpopz question! The Perfect10 is the Zita10 from a couple of threads where I was reading Zita West's "How to get Knocked Up" and there were all these stats about frequency of DTD and how likely you were to get a BFP. If you do it 10 times a month you're more likely to get a BFP within 5 months. If you do it 3 times a month it's something like 18 months. .

Good on you for booking the smear wil, fingers crossed it does the trick.

I think zyla wins SOTM?! 12!!

I am currently sitting in bed surrounded by my roomy clothes and new maternity clothes so I am getting a bit excited. But then I told one more friend today and ended up in a spiral of fear so I'm not really sure how I feel!

I try not to drink but tbh I really don't think there's anything wrong with one glass! The only reason I don't have one is it always make me sulk I can't have more lol

And on the 12..... DH is next to me still looking knackered lol, bless him

OK now I have drinking and caffeine guilt! Bit worried if I am pg this month he or she will come out hyper and pickled. Going to be good from now on. I've always known I would stop drinking the minute I know I'm pg, save 1 glass a week.

I have been taking folic acid for a year though, so I get brownie points there

juni I'm picturing you in a mound of clothes looking blissful :) it's lovely x

I think we're on 9 but I lost count in Scotland

thanks all. we've made up, but I'm still annoyed with him. I never buy wine since ttc. its only when I'm out with friends (not very often as my friends turned out to be backstabbing bitches) or special occasions. I might have a glass at my mums every now and then with dinner but I definitely average less than a glass a week! as for him, he has about 3 coffees a day (he still doesn't know I switched the instant to decaf but I can't do anything about the dolce gusto!) and 2 cans of Pepsi. so that's 5 caffeinated drinks a day. I only drink decaff tea at home now and if I can order decaff out I often do. so I've given up a lot already...including the right to pee in the toilet in the morning. all he's done is take vitamins and he's useless at that. sorry gone off on one again there!

dulcet get the cape on just in case!

juni my phone wants to auto correct you to junior lol! you are allowed to be excited. I am assuming molars are pretty rare and just one of those things. no reason for anything to go wrong this time. so let yourself be happy. you have every right to worry, but don't let that be the focus. there are new clothes to be enjoyed!

I'm debating whether to lie about my cd1 date when AF comes so I can do hsg next cycle. they say you have to do it before cd10 and if I ov tomorrow I'd be looking at cd12 as earliest opportunity when I'm back from hol. I ov later than "normal" anyway so surely it can't hurt. especially as we can't try that month (although I've read a few ppl saying that they got pg the month if hsg sooo). so my qn is, what would you do?

sorry for epic post!

lala don't feel too guilty. chances are my caffeine cut out has made no difference. but dh knows his sa's were bad and still won't take action! if I knew I had issues I'd make sure I did all I could. sorry I'll stop now!

Hmmm well I'm sure we've done way more than 10 a month since September... so not sure about that one!

I've fallen off the wagon a few times since ttc! Most of my friends didn't bother at all because like someone said you can do it all month long and not be pg... and when you are pg you'll have 9 months to get through! And the caffeine I only gave up as a last resort really.
